About 655 W. Forest Drive
This stunning colonial home in the desirable Yorkshire neighborhood, off Memorial Dr., combines classic elegance and thoughtful updates. The residence features a den with mahogany French doors opening to a partially covered patio and a landscaped garden. The seamless floorplan blends formal and family living spaces, enhanced by crown molding and solid wood doors. The main level includes a primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet and an en suite featuring separate areas for vanity, shower, and an additional sink, accessed via a cozy room suitable for a study or media room.
Upstairs, four bedrooms include two connected by an updated Jack-and-Jill bathroom and a spacious balcony.

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
